Shared note

Shortly after his marriage to Jessie, they sailed for Australia with Rose Ada, who was just over a year old. They were to spend the rest of their lives in Australia. The voyage out was held up for a week in the Bay of Biscay because of bad weather. Jessie was very grateful to have a tin of 'Arnott's Arrowroot' biscuits with her with which to feed Rose.
They landed at Perth, WA, where they remained for 18 months. William practiced his profession as a tailor and a fitter. He had served a rigorous apprenticeship in the tailoring trade in England. A fellow apprentice, Mr Edward Berry, who was already residing in Perth, had persuaded William to come out to Australia and join him as partner in a tailoring business in Hay Street, which Mr Berry had already established.
After remaining in Perth for about 2 years, where the first child of the second marriage was born, they decided to leave. William's intention was to go to New Zealand, but on arriving in Sydney, he received an invitation apprenticeship Mr P.B. Eddy (Jessie's uncle) to go to Inverell. William was so taken with the district, he decided to settle there.
